36.3 General Operating Ratings

The device must operate within the ratings listed in this section for all other electrical characteristics and typical characteristics of the device to be valid.
Table 36-2. General Operating Conditions
Symbol Description Condition Min. Max. Unit
VDD Operating supply voltage 2.7(2) 5.5 V
T Operating temperature range(1) -40 125 °C
Note:
  1. Refer to the device ordering codes for the device temperature range.
  2. Operation is ensured down to 2.7V or BOD triggering level, VBOD. VBOD may be below the minimum Operating Supply Voltage for some devices. Where this is the case, the device is tested down to VDD = VBOD during production.
    • During Chip Erase, the BOD is forced ON. If the supply voltage VDD is below the configured VBOD, the Chip Erase will fail. See Chip Erase.

CLK_CPU Operating system clock frequency

VDD = [2.7, 5.5]V
T = [-40, 125]°C(1)

 0 8 MHz

VDD = [4.5, 5.5]V
T = [-40, 125]°C(2)

 0 16
Note:
  1. Operation ensured down to BOD triggering level, VBOD with BODLEVEL2.
  2. Operation ensured down to BOD triggering level, VBOD with BODLEVEL7.

The maximum CPU clock frequency depends on VDD. As shown in the following figure, the maximum frequency vs. VDD is linear between 2.7V < VDD < 4.5V.
